SPORTS Coyotes Sign Joseph
Well, Curtis Joseph is gone from Detroit. I can't say that I'm REALLY sorry to see him go. He was incredible four seasons ago with Toronto... said a tearful farewell to the Maple Leaf faithful, and arrived in Detroit with all our hopes on his shoulders. To say he disappointed would be an understatement... as his first season he was semi-incredible again. He won 34 games his first season with the Wings... but then only 16 games his last season with the Wings. I think, honestly, he crumbled under the intense pressure that is Detroit hockey fanatics... but he might flourish in the laissez faire atmosphere that is Phoenix. Especially since the Coyotes have such a powerful roster (and big name coach) this season. Look for the Coyotes to be one of the teams (like Pittsburgh) that surprises this season. Stupid Phoenix.
FOOTBALL Favre Has Same Hip Condition Which Ended Bo Jackson's Career?
A new report does nothing but to simple add to Favre's tough-guy reputation. ESPN.com reports that Brett Favre has been diagnosed with avascular necrosis since 1992. Avascular necrosis, it reports, is a condition wherein the there is a lack of blood supply to the hip socket... and this is the same condition that Bo Jackson had, and the resulting hip injury exacerbated the condition and sidelined Jackson indefinitely. If Favre injured his hip, he too could be sidelined forever... that man is incredible.
TV Battle of the Reality Stars?
Bravo, the fabulous channel that brought us Queer Eye and Being Bobby Brown, tonight brings us a show called the "Battle of the Network Reality Stars." Is this what television has come to? Where we refer to the people who are on "reality" TV as "STARS"? Frankly, as an actor, I'm offended. What have they done besides put themselves in stupid situations so that Joe and Jane America can sit and feel better about themselves because they're not stupid enough to be on shows like this? Please. I hate reality TV... and the contempt I have for those who watch it knows no bounds. Hell, I mean, there's even a dude on this Reality Stars show from "Show Biz Moms and Dads." What the hell did this guy ever do besides psychotically push his children? Count me out of this one, thanks.
